Sweet and Spicy Ricotta Stuffed French Toast

Cook bacon at 400 degrees F in oven until crisp (approx. 15 minutes). Remove and set aside.

Whisk milk and eggs in a bowl until smooth. Mix in sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla.

Preheat a skillet to medium heat, add butter to coat the pan and prevent sticking.

Dip bread slices in batter one at a time and add to hot pan. Cook on both sides until golden brown.

Place all 8 French toast slices on a large cutting board. Spread ricotta cheese on 4 of the slices and add 3 bacon strips to each.

Spread orange marmalade on the other 4 slices and place on top of the ricotta-bacon slices.

Place the 4 stacks on a baking sheet and bake in oven at 400 degrees F for 3-5 minutes to warm the cheese and crisp the toast.

Remove and plate. Top with syrup and sliced jalapeños.
